a new year,a new season

first of all,just wanna say blessed new year to all!indeed,God has been faithful in so many ways throughout last year.although year2007 has been a very fast year for me,to say that it has been fruitful is a gross understatement.not only has God proven faithful and good in so many ways,meeting my every expectation and never failing to deliver me even when i forgot all about Him or even when i thought all hope was lost.
One thing i can thank God for this year is definitely for the people He has put in my life.
Friends:I thank God for each and every one of them because they have taught me so much.indeed,all of you have proven that Friends in need are friends indeed.i thank God for every one of my friends,people who have constantly been a source of encouragement and help for me,who have kept me accountable to them,who have definitely left a footprint in my life.people who have left a legacy in my life.

Leaders:These people have been so much of my life in year2007.people whom God has used to teach me how to be role models to other people,who have taught me how to sincerely care and connect,who have taught me how to stand by people and listen to them not because of need but because of sincerely wanting to.people who have touched and impacted my life so much.

Not so nice people:although it hasn't been smooth-sailing with you people,i thank God for each and every one of you because God has taught me many things using all of you.i believe God has put some not very nice people in my life to teach me how to love the person but hate the sin.God has also taught me that although God has a plan for everything,it is really not such a beautiful picture in the outside world.God has really taught me how to reach out to you guys and how to love even the people who persecute me for who i am.i thank God for all of you because God has used you to teach me many lessons.I believe that one day,one day,i will be able to reach out to you guys.

Even as i reflect on the year2007,i have realized how much i have grown and i really thank God.year 2007 has really been a year of great growth,challenges as well as opportunities.but "the latter will be greater than the former",and i believe that no matter how good year2007 has been,year2008 will be even better many times and i thank God in advance.i believe that year2008 will be a year of reaching new heights,new level of advancing,breaking new grounds,greater breakthroughs,incredible growth and supernatural testimonies.Amen.



How can I say thanks
For the things you have done for me
Things so undeserved
Yet You gave to prove your love for me
The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude
All that I am and ever hope to be
I owe it all to thee

To God be the glory, To God be the glory
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done
With His blood He has saved me
With His power He has raised me
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done

Just let me live my life
And let it be pleasing Lord to thee
And should I gain any praise
Let it go to Calvary

With His blood He has saved me
With His power He has raised me
To God be the glory
For the things He has done

To God be the glory, To God be the glory
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done
With His blood He has saved me
With His power He has raised me
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done
